Vladimir Putin greets new regions with lesson on imperialism’s bloody history

‘The west is ready to cross every line to preserve the neocolonial system which allows it to plunder the world, thanks to its dollar and technology domination.’ Vladimir Putin L-R: Head of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo, Head of the Zaporozhye region Yevgeny Balitsky, Russian president Vladimir Putin, Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushylin, Head of the Lugansk People’s Republic Leonid Pasechnik. At the ceremony, President Putin pledged to the people of the four new Russian regions: ‘We will always remember the heroes of the Russian Spring, those who refused to accept the neo-Nazi coup d’etat in Ukraine in 2014, all those who died for the right to speak their native language, to preserve their culture, traditions and religion, and for the very right to live.’ The ...

West uses Putin’s birthday to ramp up demonisation and personal attacks

But despite all the baseless allegations, reality is stubbornly resistant to imperialist propaganda. Proletarian writers The western media insist on painting a thoroughly misleading picture of the Russian president as an isolated and unstable dictator, holed up in his palace and giving increasingly erratic orders that no-one outside is brave enough to contradict. This blatantly and disrespectfully false storyline may provide useful fodder to Hollywood producers promoting the new cold war, but it’s hardly helpful to anyone trying to make sense of the world as it really is. More worrying still is the apparent prevalence of such narratives amongst those who are tasked with the conduct of British foreign policy and diplomacy. The London Times revealed new depths of shamelessness in a...

The example of Thomas Sankara lives on in Burkina Faso

Murder trial reminds the Burkinabè masses that freedom and dignity will only return when theirs is once more the land of the upright men. Proletarian writers Thomas Sankara was one of Africa’s great revolutionary sons. Since his brutal murder, the returned shackles of French and US domination have brought his long-suffering people to a new low. Surely, his legacy is due a revival in the country his anti-imperialist government renamed as Burkina Faso – ‘land of upright man’. When Burkina Faso’s latest president, Roch Kabore, was kicked out by an army coup in January, the event barely registered as news in the west. Isn’t that just what happens in Africa every so often? After all, this coup was preceded by two earlier similar coups in the same eight-month period i...

The cost of living crisis is a capitalist crisis

Economic crises are an inescapable feature of life under the market system. Socialist planning is our only way out. Proletarian writers To prevent the ruling class from passing the burden of the overproduction crisis onto the backs of the poor, we must organise resistance and make demands now. But we also need to work for the replacement of the system that causes such crises in the first place. Download our Cost of Living leaflet. Apart from the tiny minority of superrich exploiters who live in a tax-free bubble of privilege and ignorance, just about everyone knows in practice what is meant by the ‘cost of living crisis’. The rapidly rising cost of living – or, indeed, of barely surviving – is imposing itself on ever wider circles, whether in the form of swingeing ener...

African trust in Russia grows as western influence wanes

The growing strength of the anti-imperialist block, anchored by Russia and China, is sending tremors of fear and panic through western corridors of power. Ahmed Adel Demonstrators at recent anti-French protests in Burkina Faso wave Russian flags. Russia is increasingly being seen as a reliable partner by African countries seeking to break free from imperialist economic, political and military control. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1364025466&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true The following article is reproduced from InfoBrics, with thanks.

Inside the world of imperialist mind control

The upside-down world of corporate media lies: how fairy tales and disappearing facts keep workers in ignorance and fear. Proletarian writers A former actor is the perfect stooge for the imperialist narrative-production machine in Ukraine, whose main efforts have been to hide the truth and present a Holywood fairy tale to the consumers of western corporate media. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1368672985&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true Bedevilled by disturbing thoughts and feelings emerging from the safehouse of the unconscious, the troubled individual deploys one or more defence mechanisms to ease discomfort and restore psychic equilibrium. Perhaps the least benign of these, particularly...

Hungry schoolchildren; another sign of a failed system

When an economic system can’t provide basics like food and warm shelter to its people, it is time for it to be replaced. Proletarian writers How is it possible that in a country with the oldest-established industrial base in the world and enough agricultural land to feed 100 million people, increasing numbers of children are coming to school too hungry to learn? https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1368734113&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true Is Britain rich?

Germany is under pressure. Something’s got to give

As the economic crisis deepens and political panic spreads, the future of a unified European imperialist block is looking ever more shaky. Proletarian writers The economic crisis in Europe, exacerbated and accelerated by self-defeating sanctions against the cheap Russian energy which has fuelled the continent’s industry for decades, threatens to destroy the much-vaunted ‘unity’ of the EU, as each member struggles for its own survival. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1369387279&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true The combination of overproduction crisis and soaring fuel prices is putting the German economy under such intolerable pressure that sooner or later something will have...
